Biodiversity threat analysis

Although climate change receives a lot of attention, it is but one of many ongoing and growing threats to biodiversity. In our lab we take an integrative approach to understanding threats to vulnerable species. Our goal is to identify these threats, develop methods to predict their effect and potential future intensity, and design tools to help conservationists ameliorate threats.
